What Is A Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is an emergency in which you or your tooth or teeth are in danger. This could be an infection that poses a serious risk of spreading or trauma to a tooth which could cause the tooth to have to extracted if not seen to immediately. There are more serious emergencies that will require urgent immediate care and other emergencies in which you are able to wait until the next working day to have an emergency appointment. If you are experiencing a significant amount of pain in your tooth or teeth which has not subsided then it’s recommended to call and arrange for an emergency appointment. If you receive trauma to your tooth or teeth then its highly important to contact an emergency dentist to discuss the damage. If the damage is deemed to require emergency attention then an appointment can be arranged. Should the damage require urgent attention but not immediate attention then sometimes appointments will be arranged for the next day to repair the issue. This could result in the tooth needing extraction or preventative measures may need to be taken to repair the tooth. If you feel that it is a severe emergency then hospital is highly recommended (in the event of a spreading infection or serious damage to the mouth and teeth.)

How Can Emergency Dentists Help You?

Emergency dentists are experienced in a range of dental emergencies and will ensure that your emergency is identified quickly and that the proper measures are taken to ensure that your teeth are protected and that you are safe after your emergency. An emergency dentist will have a range of tools that are able to detect issues if they cannot be seen by the naked eye (such as infections with an x-ray) or by carrying out a physical examination and repair or extraction from physical trauma. It’s important to have an emergency seen very quickly as failure to do so could lead to a risk of your health or of other teeth that may not have been initially affected. It’s important to keep as many natural teeth as possible so in the event of trauma being caused to a tooth, it’s the top priority to try and preserve the natural tooth instead of resorting to extraction straight away. If a tooth does require extraction then an emergency dentist will ensure that the extraction is carried out effectively and to prevent further issues.
